  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nscsi: target: file: Use kzalloc_flex for aio_cmd\nThe target_core_file doesn't initialize the aio_cmd->iocb for the\nki_write_stream. When a write command fd_execute_rw_aio() is executed,\nwe may get a bogus ki_write_stream value, causing unintended write\nfailure status when checking iocb->ki_write_stream > max_write_streams\nin the block device.\nLet's just use kzalloc_flex when allocating the aio_cmd and let\nki_write_stream=0 to fix this issue.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target file module. When a write command is executed, the `aio_cmd->iocb` for the `ki_write_stream` is not initialized. This can lead to an incorrect `ki_write_stream` value, causing unintended write failures in the block device. This vulnerability can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for applications attempting to write data." ],
